Has anyone been there recently? I had heard horror stories before but some have said it has been upgraded and the pictures on their website look decent. Anyone have first hand knowledge before I book there?

Nic, my husband and I spent 3 nights at Rooftop in August 2012. While they HAVE made improvements over the years and there are some good qualities (for example, futons on the rooftop for anything you'd like to do there, and some of the rooms have been upgraded - but those do not have king-sized beds), there were a lot of problems, too. Our room was really cheesy. There was an overabundance of fake vegetation all over the place and the air conditioning unit smelled of mildew. Seriously. We bought a can of air freshener and sprayed it into the air intake every time we entered the room. We had a room with a kitchenette that is supposed to be stocked with utensils and other basic equipment. Don't plan on it.

The maid service for the rooms was okay, but cleaning up in the public areas was abysmal. We noticed a used condom laying on the floor next to a futon we had used the night before (not ours). I mentioned it to the guy at the front desk, who looked worried and said he would tell housekeeping. Two hours later it was still there, so I told another employee. It took her a few minutes to decide that she could take care of it, but she did. The day we left, around 8 or 9 a.m. (I don't remember exactly), we had to step around vomit that someone had left the night before near the elevator.

They have a special rate for single men Thursday nights, and they even advertise about men trying their wild side - so you do see more gay encounters than usual those nights. Their DJ plays extremely loud music in the courtyard from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Thursday nights AND Friday nights AND Saturday nights. If you don't like it or want to listen to something else, you cannot get away from it, even in your guest room.

If you go, take your own beach/pool towel. The ones they provide are worse than the old towels we used on our dogs. They're very old, worn out, rough, and small.

The group rooms are pretty good, although the swing (a favorite of mine during a previous visit) was missing the straps to hold up a person's feet. When I asked about it at the front desk, I was told this was a new one and those parts were in a box that had "recently" arrived. The old swing was in a guest room that had been rented out. It was frustrating seeing how little attention they paid to details like this.

The staff and visitors were all pretty nice, so no complaints there. Our last experience at Rooftop was so bad that we plan to avoid returning in the future and are looking for other fun LS places to go to.

A side note: Around the corner is a fantastic Peruvian restaurant, Pachamama, in Hollywood. They serve the best shrimp and grouper ceviche I have ever had. We actually returned a 2nd night to dine there because the food was so good.
